What customers say

Just reading these reviews, you can see how they really can't accurately rate this place. You can come to this conclusion before going to the works. I see one giving three stars apparently because the works was closed when it should have been open. Now, I doubt they closed because they wanted to.

The owner, Bandon, is a cool dude. He has extremely diverse musical interests and his knowledge goes very deep. Bandon can give you recommendations for that band you've never heard of, or chat about whatever weird sub-genre of music you might be into.

★★★★★ — Chris, 2024-11

Great place to shop for music of all kinds. Vintage to current. Hip hop, Metal, Rock n Roll, Soul, Country, etc... Lots to pick from. The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Prices are reasonable. Love this store. I recommend it to all music lovers or anyone looking for a good selection of vinyl records.

★★★★★ — Ellen, 2022-08

Pretty good music shop, they dont have too much of a diverse range of music. (next to no metal albums). If your into jazz, or blues this is your place. If your into Heavy Metal like me, go to People's Records in arcata
